Cecilia Silva Martinez

Many of you knew Cecilia as Cece but I knew her as Grandma.

My grandma spent her whole life in the San Fernando Valley, she was a local throughout her community; she was well known and loved by many. My grandmother loved the community she lived in, it was where she called home and it was where she first fell in love with her late husband Trinidad Martinez. With that love they grew a family and made four beautiful children; Trinidad J.R Martinez, Johnny Silva Martinez, Richard Silva Martinez, and Trina Jennie Morales. My grandmother learned early on in life to cherish those around you well you still can; a lesson unfortunately learned after losing her husband at the early age of 31. But throughout all the challenges that followed along with losing her husband her strong will and faith saw her through the toughest of times. With that strength she was able to keep her family together and provide them with the comfort they needed. It wasn’t until 2 years later that she had her youngest son Eddie Lopez. With the joy he brought her, my grandma's heart began to heal from all the losses.

My Grandma lived with God in her heart. She never passed judgement on anyone and was always willing to help those in need. No matter what her situation was, if someone came looking for her in need of help she would greet them with remarks of comfort and support. Love came back into her life 15 years after her husband's passing. Although she wasn’t searching for a love, she found it in the man she called husband Steve Lerma. Their love went 21 years strong.

She is survived through her beloved husband Steve and her four children, Johnny, Richard, Trina, and Eddie.
